As I expected

Samantha Maiden writes about the government's modest superannuation change:

A majority of voters have backed Anthony Albanese’s controversial plan to slug millionaires with super balances worth over $3 million a year into paying more tax.

Newspoll has found that a whopping 70 per cent of voters under the age of 50 give the plan the tick of approval.

Despite claims it represents a super-sized broken promise, The Australian’s respected pollster suggests voters think otherwise and backed the move.

A large majority – 64 per cent – approved of the policy.

Almost two-thirds of voters ­across all age groups approved of the plan to double the concessional tax rate.

Voters aged over 50s were more likely to be worried about it, but even among the oldies a clear majority – 60 per cent – approved.

By comparison, less than one in three Australian voters polled – 29 per cent – had a bee in their bonnet about the changes that are expected to raise $2 billion from 80,000 millionaires.

A whopping 80 per cent of Labor voters approved of the policy.

Even a majority of Coalition voters backed the policy, despite the fact opposition leader Peter Dutton is vowing to repeal it if he wins the next election.

It must be bothering those on the payroll to Murdoch as permanent attack dogs against the Left as to how to maintain a credible way to criticise the policy.
